it's soooo good to know I have my gym membership back :D  I feel like I wanna go every day.  I've been eating lots and lots and today I thought I was looking a bit fat in the tummy!  That's never happened before.  I guess that's a good thing.  I need the fat to work it off again.<br /> <br /> I'm still on a high from the compliment from the personal trainer I renewed with.  He's seen me there a few times when he's in at gym early.  I don't use personal trainers as I'm happy with my own routine and PT's are a bit out of my likeable price-range anyway.  He's pretty new there, but is generally a happy guy and has had one conversation with me before.  he couldn't believe that I'd work an 8 hour shift and then do a gym routine.  I didn't tell him that I also walked home lol.  Still, he's going about it the right way if he ever does wanna train me - by being friendly and such.  Anyway, when I renewed, he saw my initial photo that was taken when I first signed up and he saw the difference in me now.  I told him that I wasn't looking to be buff, but that my intention was to get a bit of definition.  That's when he suggested something to me.  "Have you tried super-sets?"  I answered "No", even thought I had no idea what the hell a "Superset" even was lol.  He didn't explain either, but I didn't say I didn't know.  I pretty much left right after back for home that day.  I looked it up last night at work on a google search on my phone, which sent me to wikipedia.  Interesting.  There's two ways of doing supersets and by God I reckon I'm gunna be sore as all hell after I'm finished with them.  They do however only involve two exercises.  I usually do three.  I'll probably do the third anyway.  Supersetting doesn't seem that different to what I currently do anyway.  It's basically moving from one exercise to another without a break in between, using the same set of muscles.  Ouch.  I prefer that one over the other way of doing it, which is using an opposite muscle group.  Might as well give it a try!<br /> <br /> I walked home and stopped off at the Southbank Beach on the way home.  There were excavators moving sand into place on either end of the beach, but I just put my stuff around them.  It was about 6:30am, and although the sun was up, it was mostly hiding behind a cloud - dammit.  So much for tanning, which I BADLY need.  When I get a chance, probably next week, I'll be working on that, probably making use of my wet n wild membership, but it's been raining so much lately.  Even at work last night it started POURING down, for about an hour.  It was good cos it tends to keep away my customers, but it was a typical busy Tuesday.  I think people still think that fuel is cheap on a Tuesday.  It's really not - it used to be years ago.  Fuel is cheapest on a Thursday night and Friday morning, currently.  At my work anyway.  Save yourself 12 cents a litre people!<br /> <br /> The water was cold when I first got in, and I was my typical wuss-self until I got past my nuts in the water, then braced myself and dove under.  As always, the feeling of the water washing over me was amazing!!!  SO SO good.  I didn't wanna get out of there.  I did freestyle for a little while in the 1.8 meter zone, but I'm no swimmer haha.  There were about 8 other people swimming there at that time of the morning and some guys working out on the beach.<br /> <br /> I then moved over to the other pool, which only has a 1 meter depth, but there is no sand that sticks to my feet.  I splashed around in there like a kid for a while.  It was fun!<br /> I walked home, with a lot of thoughts in my head that I thought I should write in OD, but of course I never actually get around to it or remember what I wanted to talk about.  I was almost gunna make a video entry at the fake beach, but yeah I always feel a little stupid, even still to this day, making video entries in public.  I was thinking however how I've lived in Spring Hill for four years now, and I've probably only stopped in to swim at that beach a handful of times, and how I should just take what I have in life for granted.<br /> <br /> I've told myself I'm going to call up the car place and ask for my car back - to just leave whatever hasn't been done and just ask how much it is, head down there and pay them what I owe.  This has gone on far too long.  Today is February 1st, 2012.  I took my car there on December 2nd, 2011.  When I DO get my car back, I will leave the worst review for them to add to the already bad one on the truelocal website.  Hopefully other people won't get themselves into the situation they've caused me to be in.  Pathetic is the only word I can think of to describe their business, but in typical me-style, I think of the positive in that they haven't given up on fixing it and they were able to tell me what they couldn't figure out, but c'mon, two months?  Every other place I've taken my car to I've had it back in two days!  <br /> I'm looking forward to being able to to drive again.  I haven't driven my car properly in what feels like a year, and probably almost is.  It'll feel weird driving and I'll have to get used to it again, but I'm looking forward to being able to drive to the coast rather than train, to drive to get my groceries rather than lugging them everywhere or having them delivered, and being able to drive to other gyms besides my usual one on my days off.  I might even drive to work again!<br /> <br /> I've got two work shifts to get through, and then I'm off to Melbourne on Friday.  I'll be leaving Australia's Bogan-City for Australia's Cultural City for three days.  It's been a few years since I was in Melbourne last, so I'm looking forward to it.  I still have no idea what to expect at <a href="http://dayglowtour.com/?page_id=50">Dayglow</a>, other than what the website shows, but that's what I'm going to!<br /> <br /> I'm currently eating icecream and blackberries I bought from the Wednesday city markets.  I asked the lady if they were the same as Mulberries - she said they aren't as sweet and are better with something, so I got them anyway and I am trying them with my icecream.  I can't believe how yummy it is!! :)<br />  </div> Wed, 1 1 F 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=D260587&entry=11276 http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=D260587&entry=11276 <div style="text-align: center;"><object height="315" width="560"> <param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fpk1oLga6UI?version=3&hl=en_US" name="movie" /> <param value="true" name="allowFullScreen" /> <param value="always" name="allowscriptaccess" /><embed height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fpk1oLga6UI?version=3&hl=en_US"></embed></object></div> <br /> I feel like I've definitely been making use of my days off, although I may not feel like it right now as I just woke up and feel like  the laziest sloth ever. <br /> <br /> Yesterday I caught up with my best friend, whom I hadn't seen in a little while now, so it was good to hang out with him in the city.  We pretty much just ate and chatted a lot.  He seems pretty keen on this guy at the moment and had a date with him after catching up with me.  I did find it amusing that when he was out, a group of queens were talking about me and how I'm a slut.  It always amazes me how I somehow come up in other people's conversations.  <em>I'm really not that interesting people</em>!!  And you're clearly just jealous.  The only people who call people sluts are the people who are bitter about not getting any.  That's how I've always seen it and it couldn't be more true.  I guess the main thing that annoys me is not the fact that people I don't even know are spreading rumours that I'm a slut, but moreso that these exact people never have the guts to actually come up and say "Hi" to my face.  Oh wait, they'd better not - I might try to fuck them.<br /> <br /> Geesh.<br /> <br /> So, let them think what they wanna think.  Once you have a label you can't really change the mind of those who hear it through the grapevine.  If you don't wanna get to know me nor anything to do with my personality, then quite frankly, I don't wanna know you.  So, in saying that, I feel I've always had a fairly good judgement of the types of people I wanna hang out with, and that tells me that there's a perfectly good reason as to why I've never had an actual word-to-word conversation with these people.  <br /> <br /> Rather than ever getting to know me and having a laugh with me, any chance of <em>any </em>type of relationship is ceased immediately when the only stubborn thought about someone (who COULD be the coolest person you've ever met), is stuck at "Oh, she/he's a slut."<br /> <br /> And you know what's worse?  These people will never change.  They'll be the same bitches in ten to twenty years time, sitting at one of the elevated tables wearing their Gucci sunnies inside the club, looking down on guys who walk into the club wearing an outfit bought from Target.  ERGH *throws up* Fuck off.<br /> <br /> I have a pretty good friendship quadrangle I'd have to say.  I use that term because of the different branches of friendship I have with my friends, whom don't all know each other, although many do.  There's my friendships with gay guys, my friendships with straight guys and my friendship with straight girls, that are all completely different.  I think I only have the one lesbian friend.  Yet, my real friends don't judge what I do.  My bestie told me that he told this group of guys that I'm not a slut, but I do like to have fun.  I think that's an adequate description of me.  I mean, when I hear the word 'Slut", there's a few people who come to mind lol, but it's not in a bitchy way - they just have a 'LOT' more sex than I do, and I'm talking like more than two guys every day haha.  That's hardly me.  I'll go weeks without even wanting anything sexual with another guy.  Then there's weeks where I will.  I think that's evident for those who have been reading my diary over a long time.  When I haven't had a boyfriend in a few years now, it makes sense that casual sex is usually a part of the single lifestyle.  And you know what?  I've met some pretty cool guys in the consensual art of sex.<br /> <br /> I feel like whilst writing this that I'm not defending myself.  Then I feel like I shouldn't have to justify myself to a group of people who I don't even know, so then that means I am.  It's so STUPID!  Can people ever mind their own business?  Go get laid bitches.<br /> <br /> I think that's all I wanted to say.<br /> <br /> Sun, 29 29 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=D260587&entry=11274 http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=D260587&entry=11274 I can't believe I just walked home in that!  It is absolutely pissing down here in Brisbane, kinda of similar to last year's weather pattern.  It poured rain at work from start at 9pm til finish at 5am.  I left work with my umbrella over my head, but by the time I even reached the main road, my work uniform was drenched.<br /> So I stopped in at the public toilet there, which is obviously undercover, left the door open and peeled my clothes off my body, changed into my shorts, threw my uniform and my socks in my bag and just put my shorts and shoes back on.  I walked back out and walked home shirtless.  Haha, why not? :)  it POURED all the way home and my umbrella did little to keep my dry, although it certainly helped.  <br /> I passed only three people on the walk home, and I said "Good morning" to all of them, and all three said 'Hello' back.  That was nice :)  I felt my shoes filling up with water.  I have to wear those shoes to work tonight so that's gunna be interesting.  I might just have to wear different shoes just for the next few shifts, because I don't really wanna go to work wearing wet shoes, and I doubt they'll dry by the time I have to work tonight.<br /> I served the hottest Japanese customer last night!  Couldn't believe how hot he was.  Normally I'm not attracted to Japanese guys at all, but he's opened my eyes.  I took photos lol, but my phone connection's usb doesn't seem to be recognising my laptop :(  Not surprising considering the bottom of the side pockets on my bag were full of water by the time I got home, despite being mostly under the umbrella.  That's how heavy the rain was.  I spent ages wiping over my credit cards with a towel when I got inside, as well as my phone which was inside the bag.  At least the phone seems to be working - just not the connection.  Ah well :)<br /> <br /> Wed, 25 25 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=D260587&entry=11271 http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=D260587&entry=11271 Yeah, I already wrote today, lamely, and I'm writing again, just cos I got back from the city.  I originally went out to get a fitted sheet for my bed, as the fitted sheet I have has a big rip in it right where I lay when I go to sleep, and I usually find my foot getting caught in there - so today I went to fix the problem.  Do you think I could find one in the same colour with the extra depth?  Nope!  I could find the extra depth, but different colours, or I could find the colour but not the extra depth.  To cut a long story short, after comparing prices between Myer and David Jones and walking back between the two twice, I realised David Jones were offering extra-depth 1200-count sheets for around $200 LESS than what Myer were offering it for.  Now, the most I ever heard of is 1000 thread count.  I'll cut a story short again and after making a complete mess of their display stand in DJ's, I found two colours of the same extra-depth fitted sheets, flat sheets and european pillowcases.  $530, I walked out lol.<br /> <br /> It felt kinda of weird but cool, buying something I normally wouldn't even think about, but I decided why the hell not??  I've done so many hours and shifts lately that it got to the point where I felt i should spoil myself, and as I bought the bed as a good investment, then so too should the sheets be!  I'm currently typing this sitting on my bed on them.  There is so much cotton that it's almost like a satin-feel.  I also chose the fudge colour over the white.  White would have looked more elegant, but I figured the white would be dirtier easier also and I'd have to be anal about them every time I'd wash them.  So yay!!<br /> <br /> It was quite a difference from the haircut I also got.  $12 from this new Asian salon in the city that's only been open a few weeks.  I walked in and the two Asian staff in there jumped up to greet me.  They had no customers whatsoever and they ushered me into a seat lol.  It wasn't dodgy or anything really, not like that place in the valley that Vish took me too.  This place the guy cut my hair with sharp scissors, and by the end, I looked in the mirror and was happy with his work as well!  Stuff paying over $100 for a haircut.  That went on my bedsheets instead it seems :)<br /> <br /> I didn't even walk back with the new underwear I'd been wanting to get, although I did look around and will admit I really didn't like any of them!  I swear the quality of underwear has gone way down.  The only good ones were the Politix brand which never go on special and they were asking $40 each.  Maybe - I'm thinking about it.  I might just have to order some more from online again like I did last time.<br /> <br /> I'm really tired now.  It's nearly 4pm Friday and I've been awake since 7pm Thursday.  I think I shopped til I dropped.<br /> <br /> Fri, 20 20 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=D260587&entry=11270 http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=D260587&entry=11270 LOL thanks guys and girls!  I pretty much got slammed from every female reader I have about the way I was holding my nephew in the photo :P  I defended myself!  I didn't drop him!  That's good enough, right?  Apparently my older brother dropped ME on my head on the hard tiles when I was a kid!  So THAT explains a LOT about me!  Might be the reason I'm the only gay one in the family as well!  :P  The strange thing is, I think I can even vaguely remember it happening.  I remember not crying at all.  And yet I can't remember a single other thing from my childhood haha, go figure.  <br /> <br /> Anyway, not much to say today, except I've got a lot to do.  I'm trying to list shit I don't want on ebay but first of all ebay was being a bitch so had to ring them, but a lovely chick helped me out something stunning and was so nice, but now I've run into a second hurdle with Paypal - something which is out of my control but will hopefully also be resolved in a few days time.  Goes to show I don't go on ebay enough!  I haven't logged in there in well over a year, so I think they thought I was some hacker or something when I'm only trying to access my own account!<br /> <br /> I've gotta buy a few things today - new bedsheets, and I'm hitting up the stocktake sale before I miss it to get some decent fashion, hopefully.  I'm so tired though!  <br /> <br /> I'm sure everyone's seen this, and I feel like I'm the only one in the world who hadn't - but it cracked me up laughing.  I'm sure Billy will appreciate this haha.<br /> <br /> If any bible-bashers wanna leave shitty notes to defend your God, feel free :)  I'm stunned, and pissed off that I was raised Christian my whole childhood!<br /> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><object height="315" width="420"> <param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MeSSwKffj9o?version=3&hl=en_US" name="movie" /> <param value="true" name="allowFullScreen" /> <param value="always" name="allowscriptaccess" /><embed height="315" width="420" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MeSSwKffj9o?version=3&hl=en_US"></embed></object></div> Fri, 20 20 2012 00:00:00 GMT
